NIntendo introduces motion gaming

Microsoft and Sony come out with me too solutions (Kinect in particular innovative in its own right, while PS Move just being more refined).

Nintendo responds, okay you two can slug it out on that red market... we are going to think up something else that is new and unique.

Their strategy is all about the blue oceans and it is because of that they when the next gaming revolution takes place, it will probably be from Nintendo. Personally I don't think Asymetric gameplay or tablet controller represents a big change like the motion controls added.

PS - I generally dislike motion control games because of how many really crappy shallow games were produced that controlled poorly and tried to be successful purely on the motion controls gimmick, but I still respect Nintendo for offering something new and exciting and without question they achieved their goal of expanding the gaming population.

This coming from a company that failed in releasing a single good game in home consoles this entire generation?

You know, there are acutally quite a few good reasons to choose from to say the Wii-U shouldn't get FF13-3, but to blatantly say you think its going to be trash and you don't need a game which isn't even announced yet is really short sighted. This would probably be a day one release across all 3 platforms and you don't want it? If it was the best selling version (which really wounldn't be that hard) then it could infuence Square to hopefully releasing more games on the Wii-U which could only be a good thing for Nintendo and its consumers :/

That is actually a good point.

A possible FF XIII-3 is neither as huge an endevour as a numbered FF game nor as big a production as the other spin-off, Versus. So they could experiment at this point.

The sales from a release across the similarly powered PS3, 360 and WiiU would probably  show some results conserning which market Square could depend on.

A reason I'm saying this is that I believe Square's attempt to appeal to the 360 market ( close to 60% of the FF XIII 360 copies were sold in the US)  had a major role in simplifying and  westernizing FF XIII, whereas japanese rpgs for the Wii like Xenoblade, the last story and pandora's box have kept true to the genre.

Square-Enix pretty much works for Sony. first and formost. There other releases are just other releases. It is possible for that to change now with the newer direction the company is taking but I really don't see that happening.
